A Hollywood star who popped by Killarney this week shared the town's beauty with his 3 million Instagram followers.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson best known as star of the popular sitcom television series 'Modern Family' took a quick trip to Kerry and soaked in the stunning sights Killarney has on offer.
The 45-year-old actor, who is in Ireland currently filming Elizabeth Bank’s new film 'Cocaine Bear', posted a photo of his husband Justin Mikita at Ross Castle.
The couple stayed in the Great Southern Killarney during their few days here.
He also shared a snap of himself tucked into a hole in the wall of the castle, and another with jarveys including 15-year-old Lewis Tangney which he said was the highlight of his trip. His photos received over 72,000 likes.
"30 hours! Killarney & Cork. Went on a jaunting tour of Killarney park with my new friend Lewis… he’s 15 and a 6th generation “jarvey” - which was our highlight of Ireland so far. If you can get to Killarney - ask for Lewis. ❤️ thanks for looking after us @j.m_reidys, @killarneyjauntingcars & @miyazaki_cork & @killarneygreatsouthern", he posted.
